In the mid-17th century of Britain, the Navigation Acts was established.
These acts was made mainly for safeguarding English shipping, and ensuring profit from the colonies.
The British Government added many taxes such as Tea Act, Quartering Act, Stamp Act, etc. without allowing the participation of the Thirteen colonies.
